C I T Y OF SAN LUIS O B I S P O
FROM: Jonathan P. Lowell, City Attorney3t-
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION FOR CITY'S DELEGATE TO VOTE REGARDING
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AT LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City's Voting Delegate to support at the General Assembly of City Voting
Delegates at the League of California Cities Annual Conference a proposed constitutional
amendment to protect municipal revenues.
DISCUSSION
In response to the current state budget crisis, the League of California Cities is developing and
seeks to sponsor a proposed constitutional amendment that would check the power of the state
government to balance the state budget by appropriating local tax funds that pay for police, fire,
EMS, infrastructure maintenance, park and library services. The measure would be placed before
the voters by initiative in November 2004. The General Assembly of City Voting Delegates will
consider, the proposed constitutional amendment at the League's Annual Conference in
Sacramento, September 7-10, 2003. The Council has previously designated Mayor Romero as
the City of San Luis Obispo's voting delegate and Vice Mayor Mulholland as the alternate
voting delegate. The City's delegate should be granted authority to cast a vote in favor of the
League of California Cities' sponsorship of the proposed constitutional amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. However, without passage of the proposed constitutional amendment, cities will continue to
be subject to fiscal uncertainty in the face of potential further state take-aways.
ALTERNATIVES
Not authorize the City's delegate to vote on this matter. This alternative is not recommended as it
deprives the City of a voice regarding a matter that impacts the City's fiscal condition.
